Details:
For the Fall 2024 Awards Cycle, the Community Foundation of Otsego County is allocating $50,000 focusing on enrichment programming and needs for children from birth through elementary school.
CFOC understand that the needs are great, and the total award amount is insufficient to solve all the problems related to the needs of the children, so this awards cycle is centering on the following types of programs that:
- Focus on health-related needs, including, but not limited to, mental health and dental hygiene;
- Provide necessities that support learning (for example, warm clothing, daily nutrition, language services);
- Help to transport children to facilitate their attendance in enrichment programs;
- Assist with the costs of training and credentialing childcare workers;
- Remove cost barriers to participation in enrichment programs in the arts and sports.
Preference will be given to requests of under $10,000 and to programs that fit well with the core mission of the applicant organization. CFOC also favors applications for one-time or start-up expenses.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must be 501(c)(3) organizations. Groups fiscally sponsored by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization are also eligible but must submit evidence of the sponsorship (funds will be disbursed through that sponsor, which must also provide the identifying information requested in the application).
For more information, visit CFOC.
